Profile Visibility is based on the total number of weekly profile views. It provides a weekly snapshot of
which profiles users are viewing on martindale.com in the form of a ranking. We do not differentiate in
the case of a tie, which may mean a number of attorneys in the same city display the same
ranking. For example, if three lawyers each received 20 profiles views last week in Atlanta, and 20 is the
highest number of profile views for that week, all three lawyers would receive a #1 ranking.
